The “Viractual”

A discussion with Joseph Nechvatal  , The School of Visual Arts (NYC) and Galerie Richard, Paris

Through the computer hybridization of components of the male and female sexual anatomy, Nechvatal arrives at hermaphroditic abstractions weirdly in tune with the cultural white noise of the present moment. In attaining this "viractual" state (his word for something between the virtual and the actual), Nechvatal's work is simultaneously classical and futuristic–part anatomical rendering, part forensic voyeurism.

This event will take place in the Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery
